Join Out & Active NI for a fantastic morning on the water at Ballyholme Yacht Club! We'll be splitting our time between dinghy sailing and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), giving everyone the chance to experience both activities with guidance from qualified instructors.
Whether you're completely new to watersports or have tried them before, this is a brilliant opportunity to learn new skills, build confidence on the water, and enjoy one of Northern Ireland's most beautiful coastal locations with fellow Out & Active members.

⚠️ Weather Disclaimer (Please Read)
This event is entirely weather dependent. The safety of participants is our top priority, and the activity may be postponed, cancelled, or amended at short notice if weather or water conditions are deemed unsuitable by the instructors. Their decision is final and will always be made with participant safety in mind.

🌊 Water Confidence
You do not need to be a strong swimmer, but every participant must be comfortable being in the water while wearing a buoyancy aid (life jacket). There is always a possibility of getting wet or entering the water during both activities.

🎒 What to Bring
👟 Old trainers or water shoes that you don't mind getting wet
🩱 Swimwear or clothes suitable for watersports
🧖 Towel and a change of clothes
🧥 Warm layers for afterwards
☀️ Suncream, hat and water bottle (weather permitting)
💊 Any medication you may require
